Ingredients
Instructions
- Lay out the bean burritos in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Pour chili over the burritos or, if using hamburger and tomato soup, pour that mixture over the burritos.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the burritos.
- Sprinkle diced yellow onion, sliced olives, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake at 375°F for about 30 to 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Before serving, add shredded lettuce, sour cream, remaining cheese, chopped tomato, and sliced olives on top.
- Cut the burritos in half and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chili or hamburger mixture. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the hamburger with black beans or tempeh. You can also use different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for added flavor. For a twist, try layering in some Corn Bread Picante.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Fancy Burrito Supremes with a side of Mexican Nachos or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. For an added burst of flavor, offer a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on the side. This dish pairs beautifully with Seven Layer Fiesta Dip for a fun, casual gathering.
